691 Reversal (1/2)
”Ollie, don't tell me you want to tarnish the honor of Legends and attack a normal person, as well as be part of the nobles' scheme?” a voice asked with a calm tone.
Behind Grand Duke Stan, a white-haired old man slowly walked out.
With every step he took, his back became straighter. In the end, he was as straight as a spear.
”Spear of Zero Surran?!” Ollie was shocked. ”Why are you here?”
”I'm the same as you. You can't reject your patron, and I have a promise I must fulfill.”
Surran was an old man with a snow white beard. The silver hair on his head was meticulously combed, and he had the manner of an old noble. At this moment, he was slowly drawing out his long spear.
”So, you are only a hypocrite…” Ollie laughed out loud. ”Why can't Legends participate in politics? This is only said by the nobles who want to restrict our powers by foolishly attempting to bind us with paper chains… The person holding the power should be the person with the most say. This is the logic of the world!”
While shouting, he drew out the curved weapon that he was carrying on his back. It looked like a knife and a sword at the same time. He charged forward as he shouted, ”Storm Cut!”
Whoosh!
In the screaming wind, this terrifying attack was incomparable concise, appearing in front of Surran as if it had teleported.
”Zero!”
Seeing this, Surran merely indifferently moved his spear forward.
Buzz!
A light arc slashed across the air and became a mirror, completely absorbing the blade's attack.
”Everything in the world follows the law of balance. Like two poles of balance, one consumes and one grows. This is my Legend's essence, the Path of Zero-sum!”
With a shake of Surran's spear, the same mirror appeared.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Wind blew toward the opposite side, shockingly returning Ollie's attack with the same energy.
”Good! No wonder you're the Spear of Zero, the strangest technique of the north!”
Ollie smiled and wielded his blade. Two gusts of frightening strong wind eradicated each other and eventually disappeared without a trace.
”Path of Zero-sum? Why don't you say Hunyuan Taij or something along those lines?”
Watching at the side, Fang Yuan was completely speechless, yet his heart was cold.
The three thousand great Daos all led to the same destination.
Even in western worlds, there would similarly be people who fumbled upon the Dao of Balance.
”Great! Again!”
Ollie swung his arms and struck once more.
If Surran's Legend path represented balance and complementing, able to rebound attacks, Ollie's Legend path was very simple—storm!
Similar to a storm, his fighting style was to attack! Attack! And attack again!!
”Attack!”
As if the fight between the two Legends had sounded a bugle, the storm warriors and death knights roared and started ruthlessly fighting.
”Ah!”
In the chaos, the small nobles were like trembling lambs as they hid on the floor. Despite that, they could not avoid the fate of being injured. Screams and agonizing shouts could be continuously heard.
Truth had shown that no matter if it was Grand Duke Stan or Earl Floren, they did not have any plans to take care of these fence-sitters.
Numerous soldiers directly charged forward. Anyone who blocked their path was killed.
Hehe… these noble families always stick to the middle. They want to be fence-sitters, but they don't know that after the opening shot, it's better to side with the wrong team than not to side with any. After all, the first one that each camp wants to suppress are those that are easy to bully!
Fang Yuan laughed coldly in his heart when he witnessed this.
”Knight Luhn!” Beside him, Daniel's eyes glittered. ”The ruling family is under siege. As a knight, shouldn't you fulfill your obligations?”
Using righteousness and social status to suppress others and make them risk their lives was indeed satisfying.
Daniel was filled with the joy of revenge.
”What are you waiting for!
”Where is your dignity as a knight?
”If you aren't moving, you'll be a traitor of the duchy. A criminal!”
Other priests were similarly angry and shouting. If they could send someone to death just by speaking, why wouldn't they?
”Alright… I'll make a move now!”
Fang Yuan drew out his sword and casually stabbed.
Poof!
Blood spewed everywhere!
The expression on Archbishop Daniel immediately changed. He was astonished looking at the blade impaled in his chest. ”You…”
Unfortunately, just as he spoke a word, he spit out blood foam and collapsed onto the ground.
Until his death, he did not expect that Knight Luhn would actually be so determined, and even see no significance in the rules!
Because he wasn't on guard, an archbishop was easily killed by an attack before he could do anything.
”Luhn, don't tell me you want to betray the duchy?”
